+
+On 2010-11-28, Austin English contacted us, stating that he's working on
+porting [Wine](http://winehq.org/) to the GNU/Hurd.
+
+It is not yet clear how difficult this is going to be, what sort of
+requirements Wine has: only libc / POSIX / etc., or if there are
+*advanced* things like [[system_call]] trapping involved, too.
+
+[[Samuel|samuelthibault]] suspects that *there's some need for LDT table
+allocation. There is kernel support for this,* however.
